Question

There are bytes in a gigabyte. There are bytes in a megabyte. How many times greater is the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive than a 1-megabyte flash drive?

Answer 1

1,000

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: third option.

Explanation:

You know that:

- There are 10⁹ bytes in a gigabyte.

- There are 10⁶ bytes in a megabyte.

Then, to know how many times greater the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive is than a 1-megabyte flash drive, you must divide 10⁹ bytes by 10⁶ bytes.

Remember the quotient of powers property:

`(a^m)/(a^n)=a^((m-n))`

Then:

`=(10^9)/(10^6)=10^3=1,000` times greater
